Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS

If I was not prepared "to take a leap of faith" with certain sellers  I would not use PayPal as friends and family so the seller incurs no fees.
Have done that with the last 3 sellers of fair priced items I have purchased from here and audiomart.
No buyer protection in that case.

Actually I think you will find the seller IS responsible, after all they are getting the benefit of receiving payment IMMEDIATELY.  PayPal are not just going to give that service away.
Pretty sure it is in PayPal TOS that the seller should not try to pass on the fees to the buyer. Or words to that effect.
Better just for seller to never even,mention PayPal fees as it does cause many to just pass right away

Truly admin?
Seriously?
Just what about my last post was deemed worthy of being removed?

Well let us repost it (worded slightly differently to see if content or) and see what happens.


When I see on an ad "buyer pays 3% paypal fees" or similar I just move right along no matter if I am truly interested in the item in question.

However what I found even more ludicrous was a couple of dealer ads that suggested that the buyer should not only stump up the paypal fees but also THEIR Audiogon selling fees as well.

Needless to say they received emails which they did not have the decency or courage to reply back to.

Really?

Odd how this has been brought to the surface.

I created a thread on this subject about 2 years ago and the vitriol that was poured forth you would have thought I was suggesting sacrifice your first born rather than refuse to pay the PayPal fee as a buyer!

How times change......
